Hey Ed - I have a photo album here on the Zenith.aero site that shows the BRS install.  For the bridle straps, I put them in shrink wrap, and then used double-sided tape to attach velcro to both the shrink-wrap-encased straps and to the inside cabin rails on the upper longerons.  Looks good, and can see it if you zoom in on the photos.  Goes without saying that the functionality of my installation is totally untested, of course...

I for one am quite curious as to how Pat fitted the BRS forward straps without running fiberglass fairings.  I shot Pat a facebook message (if any of you know how to get in touch with him directly, please let me know).
